Have you been told that your period pain is because you have PCOS? One of my all time favourite women, Dr Lara Briden, the period revolutionary, is joining me on the podcast this week to explain why severe period pain is not a symptom of PCOS and is more likely a symptom of Endometriosis. About 10% of all women have endometriosis, coincidentally about the same number that have PCOS. They are both very common conditions, which means that for many of you, you might have both. And given it takes women on average 8 YEARS (!) to get diagnosed with endometriosis, it’s likely that you may have both and don’t know about it. So in this episode we cover off some of the most important topics around endometriosis and PCOS such as: What is Endometriosis?What causes endo?What are the symptoms?How do the symptoms differ from PCOS?How is endo diagnosed?As Lara and I love to chat for hours when we get together this podcast went a bit overtime, so I’ve had to split it into two. So next week, we’ll be back with the second part which is mainly about the treatment options for endometriosis. Thinking that you don’t have endo, so this episode doesn’t apply to you? No no no no non NO! You are exactly who this is for- as I said above it affects 1 in 10 women, you can have both and given it takes 8 years to get diagnosed, you’ll likely not know about it.Even if this is not you, you may pick up on some symptoms that sound distinctly like a sister, friend, cousin daughter or colleague of yours.
The most radical thing is walking on your own unique path - “Choose purpose over perfect” In this episode, Lara shares that her personal faith in God grew while starting a garden and building her business, “Southern Weddings.” Her personal passion for growing things – both plants and a business – taught her to exchange her fears for faith. She founded ‘Cultivate What Matters’ that helps women set cultivated goals, cultivate faith and grow their marriages. Lara and I talk about the trappings of chasing success and about saying ‘no’ to some areas of life so that we can go ‘all in’ to other areas of your life that God has called you to. Lara coaches her fellow businesswomen to “choose purpose over perfect.” She wants women to build faith-filled and purpose-driven businesses, all while walking the unique path that God has created for you. As Lara says, “Our purpose is not tied to our title. Our worth is really about WHOSE we are.” Episode Quotes "My faith allowed me to have this insatiable desire for growing and tending things." "Passion is sacrifice... it is the thing that you're so fired up about that you are willing to sacrifice for it." "There is a FEAR that is about respecting something that tends to take control over us." "It is a neat thing to take a risk and do a leap of faith." "Sometimes success is actually the thing that distracts us most from making us successful." "When we focus too much on the success and not on the efforts and the WHY then we lose sight of success." "If you are not refueling yourself at the well then you can't fill anybody else." "The most radical thing we can do is to walk our own unique path." "I started to grow an authentic relationship with the Lord and gave up the identity that I'm stuck in." "Your work is something that you do, not your purpose. Your purpose doesn't go to work; it goes to love." "Our purpose is not tied to our title. Our worth is really about Whose we are." "Doing business as ministry is not about sharing Bible verses all the time." "Helping people is worth far more than your doubts."

My guest Lara McElderry knows all about the struggles of being married to a surgeon: the crazy hours, the extensive amount of time spent in training, and the toll it can take on any relationship dynamic. And in this episode, she offers up her time and provides some tips and advice for those who might be in the middle of a similar situation. It doesn’t matter if a medical related position or not, all careers have the potential to be disruptive to a relationship and there are ways around sacrificing the longevity and health of your love and sex life.Lara went to school for Family and Consumer Science and has a master’s degree in teaching from the University of Arkansas. And she lives in Missouri with her trauma surgeon husband and her children. Listen along and enjoy!Married to DoctorsLara begins this episode with some important details about her marriage and how despite the unique aspects of it and the stressful medical school, training, and moving that it entailed, that she still learned how to achieve the proper balance of intimacy with her husband. Now she now has a podcast called Married to Doctors and has learned some valuable things along the way about intimacy and relationships.The Challenges That Demanding Careers Can Have on RelationshipsWhen talking about her marriage with her trauma surgeon husband, the biggest challenge that she highlights is the difference in responsibilities that arise from different perspectives, careers, and work dynamics. Like many relationships, Lara was a stay-at-home mom and found it challenging to work with her husband coming home from work and wanting to spend intimate time with her almost immediately.But as she said, she soon realized that it was ok to leave the dishes dirty, and X and Y and Z unattended, even though she struggled with doing so. Especially because she grew up in a household where sleep was foregone if the dishes weren’t done or other responsibilities weren’t taken care of.In her husband’s eyes, there was only a small amount of time they got to see each other every day. Eventually, she grew comfortable with being a little more flexible, and they both met halfway. This type of flexibility to difficult to cultivate, but very, very important.For more on the challenges, listen along to the episode!Solutions for Prioritizing Intimacy and SexLara says that when you have a hectic, crazy schedule due to a career, or a big family that takes a lot of your time and energy, scheduling your sex life can be very beneficial. She understands that not everyone subscribes to the method, but it can be a really useful tool for prioritizing such an important part of the relationship.And this doesn’t mean formally setting up a designated time and place for sex but keeping a somewhat fixed idea of when sex is going to happen. Because your hours might vary widely, scheduling might be hard, but as Lara states, a loose schedule is useful.She also talks about the importance of teaming up with your spouse around the house to free up more time for sex. Doing things that help create situations having sex more readily available is a great strategy.Prioritizing the RelationshipFinding things to do with one another is so important. And you can do things as a couple with the kids still around. As Lara states about the new things that she and her husband like to do together, to see each other anew on a consistent basis, they are vital for broadening and deepening the relationship. And it also has considerable carryover to a better sex life.And all of these activities don’t have to revolve around lavish excursions to exotic places; they can take place at home, through simple means and through simple acts of affection and connection. For much more on this beautiful idea, listen to Lara describe it.No Such Thing as Happily Ever After!Lara tells us that of course, we won’t suddenly stop facing struggles in our relationships, but if we can learn to face each change, each move or job change with a bit of curiosity and resiliency, we will be well-equipped to have a great relationship and great sex.

Lara Price is an Unstarving Musician's Podcast alumni from early episode 4. Similar to my recent conversation with country singer songwriter Mira Goto, this is a progress update of sorts. It's been almost one year since my last interview with Lara. At that time she had just made a big move from the San Francisco Bay Area to Austin, and she was still riding high on the release of her then newish album I Mean Business. This time around I happened to catch Lara near the 43rd anniversary of a very special flight on which she was a passenger. Lara was part of Operation Baby Lift, the mass evacuation of orphans to the US and other countries at the end of the Vietnam War. Our conversation opens with Lara's reflections on her fate as an evacuee and how it has influenced her art. We also talk about starting over in Austin, and the journey of finding a new band. Lara had been a music fixture of the San Francisco Bay Area for about 20 years. She says that the process of establishing a new band she can call her own is something that hasn't been without a few tears. Lara is a self-proclaimed optimist by nature, so she's naturally upbeat about having met many great Austin musicians and having landed some great gigs. She was one of the local artists featured at the 2018 Red Gorilla Music Festival, and was excited to tell me that she landed a coveted gig on Austin's Bergstrom International Airport music stage. Lara has her eye on a much bigger prize though–Austin City Limits. I'd always thought of Lara as someone who favors blues as a genre. There's no question that she loves the blues, but she confesses that she originally wanted to sing in a rock band. She also says the blues found her–lucky us. Lara's returned to her roots in that she's frequenting blues jams in the Austin area. She and I agree wholeheartedly that blues jams are a great place to network with other musicians. And as Lara points out, blues musicians are often into other things besides blues. As an indie artists, we should remember this anytime we're feeling dismissive of the blues. Blues jams are a great place to network with other players, many of whom are into other genres. As Lara is quick to point out, blues ain't easy. To that I'll add, blues ain't easy when it's done right. Lara says she wants to get back in the studio this year. She also wants to find the lineup for that band she can call her own. Much to my surprise, she anticipates that she might finally find her sound. I thought she found her sound long ago, but I'm now under the impression that this has been one of her ongoing quests in life. She points out that all of this will take time, and making time seems to be on the forefront of Lara's mind. She recently made the big decision to get a day job. Austin is a place where Lara says she can hold a 9-to-5, focus on one music project, and live a more comfortable life. The super-expensive San Francisco Bay Area is unfortunately not among the most conducive places for artists to do such a thing, especially if their sole focus is making a living from their art.

Mary Slagle is a SaaS Sales Specialist for MINDBODY, Inc. Working in the field of wellness, and for a company filled with mostly twenty-somethings, Mary was feeling as though she had missed out on the chance to join in on the activities and fun they all enjoyed. With five grown children and four grandchildren, her dream was to be more active and healthy. While prospecting for new clients, Mary came across Health and Lifestyle Coach Lara Dalch's website and program for a Vibrant Healthy life. She realized it was exactly what she was looking for, in a wholly unexpected way. In this podcast with Jill, Mary and Lara tell us how they partnered up to help Mary feel balanced and successful in all aspects of her life. 1:54 Why a coach? Mary is a high-achieving, got-it-all-together kind of gal. Why would she need a coach? Because being driven and having a full life is terrific, but it can also be stressful. Lara helps her prioritize and spend her time and energy right. 2:56 What struck you about Lara’s services in particular? There are lots of coaches and coaching programs out there. We asked Mary how she knew Lara was the right partner for her. According to Mary, The “Get Out of Your Own Way” worksheet, plus the chance to consult with Lara for free, opened her eyes to where she was in life. She was settling, she realized, and that just wasn’t right. 4:37 What does it mean to “get out of your own way”? Lara’s online worksheet was born from watching women sabotage their lives and their opportunities to live more vibrantly. Check out the ways Lara sees women block their own dreams and futures. 6:15 Finding awareness There must have been a moment when you realized you weren’t living the life you wanted. What was it like when your eyes were opened? Mary talks about when she realized she was giving so much to her professional life, it was leaving her powerless in her personal life. 7:44 How does the workshop help women realize how much better their lives could be? The workshop is a “sliver of hope” that things can change, says Lara; it’s a glimpse into that better, more fulfilling life. Whatever your goals are, there are paths to achieving them – Lara helps her clients realize first, things can be better, and second, here’s how we’ll get you there. 10:21 First, the commitment, then the work What did the day-to-day work feel like? Lara and Mary talk about the dangers of The Grand Plan and the sanity of setting reasonable goals. 12:35 Set big goals – be ready to adjust As Lara says, “Feeling well means something different every day.” It’s important for highly driven women to train their brains to notice what’s going well, to celebrate the small steps as much as the big victories. As Lara told us later, there are two critical steps here. Step one: honor how you're feeling and be compassionate with yourself. Step two: redirect your attention to what's going well. Listen to find out how. 14:12 Honeymoon’s over. Now what? We asked Mary about the low points. What were they and how did she get over them? In a house full of food that wasn’t healthy for her body, constant denial was grinding her down. Mary describes how she and Lara developed tools that allowed for some indulgence but kept her choices under her control. 16:06 Tools? Do tell! We could all use tools like that! Mary talks about how Lara’s program allows for 24/7 access to the whole history of their journey together through video. Being able to go back to critical touchpoints along the way really helped Mary stay on track. 18:00 Pulling clients out of the pit We asked Lara how she realizes her clients are struggling and what she does when they need a boost. So, what’s “new and good” with you? 18:58 How does coach stay positive? “There’s always something” that shifts the client and the coach back into a positive mindset, Lara says. Sometimes they have to talk a while to find the good, but there’s always something. 19:39 How do you know when you’re “done”? We asked how the program finishes and Mary is sustaining her progress. The program is designed to be finite, Lara says, though there are options to continue. But high-performing women like Mary tend to get through the material quickly and are ready to fly solo pretty fast. From her side, Mary didn’t want to say goodbye, even though she was “soaring”! So she’s opted to keep Lara in her corner, through check ups and check ins to keep her moving forward. Will she finally join that CrossFit group? Stay tuned! 23:30 Is this now a way of life, or is it still work to keep moving ahead? Life makes it tough to make the right choices sometimes (e.g. a cruise ship full of ice cream and pizza), so negotiations continue. But now, Mary says, she has the tools to make judgement calls and control her own decision-making (like spending candy bar money on better “indulgences”). 25:47 The coach’s perspective on a client’s success “It’s such a pleasure to see her thrive,” Lara says. No surprise there.
Aired Tuesday, 9 May 2017, 2:00 PM ET The Power of Stillness What if the internal confusion and despair that stems from not feeling like you’re enough was really the conduit to your soul’s calling?
